Perfect Santa! Will definitely hire again

Santa Skip was booked as a surprise for a Christmas Eve party with my nieces and nephews. It was a complete surprise to everyone, including the other adults.
He arrived on time and was an amazing Santa! We provided a bag of gifts for him to bring inside and hand out and he did it perfectly. I gave him the names and a little info about each child that would be there and he called them each by name and made reference to the background information. He talked to all of the kids and made their day.
When the family wanted multiple picture of him with the kids, the entire family, and even the uncooperative family pets, he stayed in character and did a truly beautiful job. After Santa Skip left, all of the adults were raving about how amazing he was and what a fabulous job he did. His costume and look were spot on! I will definitely be hiring him again if needed.

Excellent

Santa Skip was kind to the children. He wasn't an over the top boisterous character. More of a gentle sweet Santa. Which was great for the young children.
